Join workshop host Maud Peters to create your own cultural Fall lantern using paper mache, natural leaves, and other elements. All materials are provided.Bring your lantern back on October 19th to join another event at Treasure Mountain, including a family-friendly lantern-lit parade and walk on the property to show off your creation. (More details on the 19th to come!)
Here is what Maud has to share about the inspiration behind the workshop:
“A fond memory of my childhood in Germany was the annual tradition of the ‘Laternen Lauf’ (Lantern Parade). We would make our own lanterns in school, which we would later parade through town while singing songs. Traditionally it would be in the Fall to celebrate St. Martin’s Day (Nov. 11th), but today it also symbolizes recognizing the light within yourself and your community during the darker season. St. Martin’s Day is celebrated in honor of Martin of Tours, a Roman soldier who shared his warm cloak with a cold beggar on a chilly night.”
